Electrical Safety
General Guidelines
WARNINGS:
• Do not push objects into slots or openings on the printer. Touching a voltage point or
shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical shock.
• Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are
installing optional equipment and are instructed to do so. Turn off the printer when
performing these installations. Disconnect the power cord when removing covers and
guards for installing optional equipment. Except for user-installable options, there are
no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.
The following are hazards to your safety:
• The power cord is damaged or frayed.
• Liquid is spilled into the printer.
• The printer is exposed to water.
• The printer emits smoke, or the surface is unusually hot.
• The printer emits unusual noise or odors.
• The printer causes a circuit breaker, fuse, or other safety device to activate.
If any of these conditions occur, do the following:
1. Turn off the printer immediately.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Call an authorized service representative.
Laser Safety
This printer complies with laser product performance standards set by governmental, national, and
international agencies and is certified as a Class 1 Laser Product. The printer does not emit hazardous
light because the beam is totally enclosed during all modes of customer operation and maintenance.
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in
this manual can result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Safety

User Guide
Operational Safety
Your printer and supplies were designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. These include
safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with established environmental standards.
Your attention to the following safety guidelines helps to ensure the continued, safe operation of your
printer.
Ozone Release
This printer produces ozone during normal operation. The amount of ozone produced is dependent on
copy volume. Ozone is heavier than air and is not produced in amounts large enough to harm anyone.
Install the printer in a well-ventilated room.
For more information in the United States and Canada, go to www.xerox.com/environment. In other
markets, please contact your local Xerox representative or go to www.xerox.com/environment_europe.
Printer Location
• Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength to hold the weight
of the printer. To find the weight for your printer configuration, see Physical Specifications on page
122.
• Do not block or cover the slots or openings on the printer. These openings are provided for
ventilation and to prevent overheating of the printer.
• Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for operation and servicing.
• Place the printer in a dust-free area.
• Do not store or operate the printer in an extremely hot, cold, or humid environment.
• Do not place the printer near a heat source.
• Do not place the printer in direct sunlight to avoid exposure to light-sensitive components.
• Do not place the printer where it is directly exposed to the cold air flow from an air conditioning
system.
• Do not place the printer in locations susceptible to vibrations.
• For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations recommended in Elevation on page 125.
Operational Guidelines
• Do not remove any paper trays while the printer is printing.
• Do not open the doors when the printer is printing.
• Do not move the printer when it is printing.
• Keep hands, hair, neckties, and so on, away from the exit and feed rollers.
• Covers, which require tools for removal, protect the hazard areas within the printer. Do not remove
the protective covers.

User Guide
Power Cord
• Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
• Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that each end of the
cord is connected securely. If you do not know if an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check
the outlet.
• Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to an electrical outlet that does not have a
ground connection terminal.
WARNING: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is grounded properly.
Electrical products can be hazardous if misused.
• Only use an extension cord or power strip designed to handle the electrical current capacity of the
printer.
• Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that is providing the correct voltage and power.
Review the electrical specification of the printer with an electrician if necessary.
• Do not place the printer in an area where people can step on the power cord.
• Do not place objects on the power cord.
• Replace the power cord if it becomes frayed or worn.
• Do not unplug or plug the power cord while the printer is turned on.
• To avoid electrical shock and damage to the cord, grasp the plug when unplugging the power cord.
• The electrical outlet must be near the printer and must be easily accessible.
The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device on the back of the printer. If it is necessary
to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Printer Supplies
• Use the supplies designed for your printer. The use of unsuitable materials can cause poor
performance and a possible safety hazard.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the product, options, and supplies.
• Store all consumables in accordance with the instructions given on the package or container.
• Keep all consumables away from the reach of children.
• Never throw toner, print/drum cartridges, or toner containers into an open flame.
• When handling cartridges, for example toner and such, avoid skin or eye contact. Eye contact can
cause irritation and inflammation. Do not attempt to disassemble the cartridge, which can increase
the risk of skin or eye contact.
CAUTION: Use of non-Xerox® supplies is not recommended. The Xerox® Warranty, Service
Agreement, and Total Satisfaction Guarantee do not cover damage, malfunction, or degradation of
performance caused by use of non-Xerox® supplies, or the use of Xerox® supplies not specified for this
printer. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage
could vary outside these areas. Please contact your Xerox representative for details.

User Guide
Installation and Setup Overview
Before printing, your computer and the printer must be plugged in, turned on, and connected. Configure
the initial settings of the printer, then install the driver software and utilities on your computer.
You can connect to your printer directly from your computer using USB, or connect over a network using
an Ethernet cable or wireless connection. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different
connection methods. Routers, network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables
are not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. Xerox recommends an Ethernet
connection because it is typically faster than a USB connection, and it provides access to CentreWare
Internet Services.
For details on configuring the printer settings, see the System Administrator Guide at
www.xerox.com/office/7100docs.
Selecting a Location for the Printer
1. Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10–32°C (50–90°F), and relative humidity 15–85%.
Note: Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect print quality. Rapid heating of a cold room can
cause condensation inside the printer, directly interfering with image transfer.
2. Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength for the weight of the
printer. The printer must be horizontal with all four feet in solid contact with the surface. To find the
weight for your printer configuration, see Physical Specifications on page 122. Select a location with
adequate clearance to access supplies and to provide proper ventilation. To find the clearance
requirements for your printer, see Clearance Requirements on page 123.
After positioning the printer, you are ready to connect it to the power source and computer or network.
Selecting a Connection Method
The printer can be connected using a USB cable, an Ethernet cable, or an optional Xerox® Wireless
Network Adapter. The method you select depends on how your computer is connected to the network.
Note: The wireless network adapter installs into the Ethernet connector, replacing the Ethernet
cable. Ethernet and USB can be connected at the same time.
A USB connection is a direct connection and is the easiest to set up. An Ethernet connection is used for
networking. If you are using a network connection, it is important to understand how your computer is
connected to the network.
Installation and Setup
Phaser 7100 Color Printer 29
User Guide
Note: Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers,
network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included with
your printer and must be purchased separately.
• Network: If your computer is connected to an office network or home network, use an Ethernet
cable to connect the printer to the network. You cannot connect the printer directly to the computer.
It must be connected through a router or hub. An Ethernet network can be used for one or more
computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. Ethernet connection is typically
faster than USB and allows you direct access to the settings of the printer using CentreWare
Internet Services.
• Wireless Network: For printers with the optional wireless network, you can connect the printer to
the network through a wireless router or wireless access point. A wireless network connection
provides the same access and services as a wired connection provides. A wireless network
connection is typically faster than USB and allows direct access to printer settings using CentreWare
Internet Services.
Note: For details on configuring wireless network settings, see the System Administrator Guide at
www.xerox.com/office/7100docs.
• USB: If you connect the printer to one computer and do not have a network, use a USB connection.
A USB connection offers fast data speeds, but typically not as fast as an Ethernet connection. In
addition, a USB connection does not provide access to CentreWare Internet Services.
Physically Connecting the Printer to the Network
Use a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network. An Ethernet network is
used for one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. An Ethernet
connection provides direct access to printer settings using CentreWare Internet Services.
To connect the printer:
1. Connect the power cord to the printer, and plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Connect one end of a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the printer.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a correctly configured network port on a hub or
router.
3. Turn on the printer.
Note: For details on configuring wireless network settings, see the System Administrator Guide at
www.xerox.com/office/7100docs.

• www.xerox.com/europaper Recommended Media List (Europe)
Ordering Paper
To order paper, transparencies, or other media, contact your local reseller or go to
www.xerox.com/office/7100supplies.
General Paper Loading Guidelines
Letter (8.5 x 11 in.) and A4 (210 x 297 mm) sizes can be loaded with the long-edge or short-edge leading
into the printer. Long-edge feed is the preferred orientation to maximize the pages printed per minute,
and minimize supply usage.
• Do not load paper above the maximum fill line. Overfilling the tray can cause the printer to jam.
• Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.
• Fan paper before loading it in the paper tray.
• If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package.
• Do not print on label media once a label has been removed from a sheet.
• Use only paper envelopes. Print envelopes 1-sided only.
Paper and Media
Phaser 7100 Color Printer 39
User Guide
Paper That Can Damage Your Printer
Some paper and other media types can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage
your printer. Do not use the following:
• Rough or porous paper
• Inkjet paper
• Non-laser glossy or coated paper
• Paper that has been photocopied
• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with cutouts or perforations
• Stapled paper
• Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips
• Padded envelopes
• Plastic media
• Transparencies
CAUTION: The Xerox® Warranty, Service Agreement, or Xerox® Total Satisfaction Guarantee does
not cover damage caused by using unsupported paper or specialty media. The Xerox® Total
Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside
these areas. Please contact your local representative for details.
Paper Storage Guidelines
Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.
• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from
ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly
damaging to paper.
• Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to collect
moisture.
• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave
stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss or
gain.
• Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag until
you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

Envelopes
Print envelopes only from the Bypass Tray. For details, see Supported Standard Paper Sizes on page 40.
Guidelines for Printing Envelopes
• Print quality depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope brand
if you do not get desired results.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the excess moisture and dryness which can
affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before
or during printing.
• Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book
on top of them.
• In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type.
• Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
• Do not use envelopes with heat activated glue.
• Do not use envelopes with press and seal flaps.
• Use only paper envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.

2. Load envelopes with the flaps closed and facing up.
• Load No.10, Monarch, or DL envelopes with the long edge facing into the printer.
Note: If you do not load envelopes immediately after they have been removed from the packaging,
they can bulge. Flatten them to avoid jams.
Paper and Media
Phaser 7100 Color Printer 51
User Guide
• Load large envelopes with the flaps open and facing up.
CAUTION: Never use self-stick envelopes, envelopes with exposed adhesives, or envelopes with

Labels
You can print labels from any tray.
Guidelines for Printing Labels
• Use labels designed for laser printing.
• Do not use vinyl labels.
• Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once.
• Do not use dry gum labels.
• Print only on one side of the sheet of labels. Use full sheet labels only.
• Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the sheets of labels inside the original
packaging until ready to use. Return any unused sheets of labels to the original packaging and
reseal it.
• Do not store labels in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold conditions. Storing
them in extreme conditions can cause print-quality problems or cause them to jam in the printer.
• Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause labels to curl and
jam in the printer.

Printing a 2-Sided Document
If your printer supports Automatic 2-Sided Printing, the options are specified in the print driver. The print
driver uses the settings for portrait or landscape orientation from the application for printing the
document.
Note: Ensure that the paper size and weight are supported. For details, see Supported Paper Sizes and
Weights for Automatic 2-Sided Printing on page 40.
2-Sided Page Layout Options
You can specify the page layout for 2-sided printing, which determines how the printed pages turn.
These settings override the application page orientation settings.
Printing
Phaser 7100 Color Printer 61
User Guide
To make a 2-sided printing selection, on the Page Layout tab, use the arrow button in the bottom left
corner of the preview pane. Page Layout is on the Document Options tab.

• Landscape orients the paper so that the text and images print across the long dimension of
the paper.
• Rotated Landscape orients the paper so that the content is rotated 180 degrees and with the
long bottom side up.
3. Click OK.
Selecting Paper Options for Printing
There are two ways to select the paper for your print job. You can let the printer select which paper to
use based on the document size, paper type, and paper color you specify. You can also select a specific
tray loaded with the desired paper.
Printing Multiple Pages to a Single Sheet
When printing a multiple-page document, you can print more than one page on a single sheet of paper.
Print 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per side by selecting Pages Per Sheet on the Page Layout tab. Page Layout
is on the Document Options tab.
Printing Booklets
With 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small booklet. Create booklets from any
paper size that is supported for 2-sided printing. The driver automatically reduces each page image and
prints four page images per sheet of paper, two page images on each side. The pages are printed in the
correct order so that you can fold and staple the pages to create the booklet.
When you print booklets using the Windows PostScript or Macintosh driver, you can specify the gutter
and creep.
• Gutter specifies the horizontal distance in points between the page images. A point is 0.35 mm
(1/72 in.).
Printing
Phaser 7100 Color Printer 63
User Guide
• Creep specifies how much the page images are shifted outward, in tenths of a point. Shifting
compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which would cause the page images to shift
slightly outward when folded. You can select a value from zero to 1 point.
Gutter Creep
Print Quality
Print quality modes:
• Standard print-quality mode: 600 x 600 dpi
• Enhanced print-quality mode: 1200 x 1200 dpi
• Photo print-quality mode: 600 x 600 x 8 dpi
Note: The print resolutions are indicated for PostScript print drivers only. The only print quality
mode for PCL is Standard.
Image Options
Image options controls the way the printer uses color to produce your document. The Windows
PostScript and the Macintosh drivers provide the widest range of color controls and corrections on the
Image Options tab.
To convert all color in the document to black and white or shades of gray, select Xerox Black and White
Conversion.
Color corrections designed for your printer include:
• Automatic Color applies the best color correction to text, graphics, and images. Xerox recommends
this setting.
• Vivid Color produces brighter and more saturated colors.
• sRGB provides color correction for matching the standard red, blue, and green color characteristics
of computer displays.

Printing Covers
A cover is the first or last page of a document. You can select paper sources for the covers that are
different from the source used for the body of a document. For example, you can use your company
letterhead for the first page of a document. You can also use heavyweight paper for the first and last
pages of a report. You can use any applicable paper tray as the source for printing covers.
Select an option for printing covers:
• No Covers cancels any previous Covers settings.
• Front Only prints the first page on paper from the specified tray. With automatic 2-sided printing,
the first two pages print on the cover.
• Back Only prints the back page on paper from the specified tray. With automatic 2-sided printing,
the last two pages print on the cover when the page count is even.
• Front and Back: Same prints the front and back covers from the same tray.
• Front and Back: Different prints the front and back covers from different trays.
Printing Inserts
You can add blank or pre-printed inserts before page one of each document or after designated pages
within a document. Adding an insert after designated pages within a document separates sections, or
acts as a marker or placeholder. Make sure that you specify the paper to use for the inserts.
Modify these settings when printing inserts:
• Insert Options provides the options to place an insert After Page X, where X is the specified page, or
Before Page 1.
• Insert Quantity specifies the number of pages to insert at each location.
• Page(s) specifies a page or a range of pages after which you want an insert added. Separate
individual pages or page ranges with commas. Specify pages within a range with a hyphen. For
example, to add inserts after pages 1, 6, 9, 10, and 11, type: 1, 6, 9-11.
• Paper displays the default size, color, and type of paper selected in Use Job Settings for the inserts.
Use the Down Arrow to the right of the Paper field to select a different paper size, color, or type.
• Job Settings displays the attributes of the paper for the remainder of the job.
Printing Exception Pages
Exception pages have different settings from the rest of the pages in the job. You can specify differences
such as page size, page type, and page color. You can also change the side of the paper on which to print
as your job requires. A print job can contain multiple exceptions.
For example, your print job contains 30 pages. You want five pages to print on only one side of a special
paper, and the remainder of the pages printed 2-sided on regular paper. You can use exception pages to
print the job.
In the Add Exceptions window, you can set the characteristics of the exception pages and select the
alternate paper source:
Printing
Phaser 7100 Color Printer 65

• Paper displays the default size, color, and type of paper selected in Use Job Settings. Click the Down
Arrow to the right of the Paper field to select a different paper size, color, or type.
• 2-Sided Printing allows you to select 2-sided printing options. Click the Down Arrow to select an
option:
• 1-Sided Print prints the exception pages on one side only.
• 2-Sided Print prints the exception pages on both sides of the paper and flips the pages on the
long edge. The job then can be bound on the long edge of the pages.
• 2-Sided Print, Flip on Short Edge prints the exception pages on both sides of the paper and
flips the pages on the short edge. The job then can be bound on the short edge of the pages.
• Job Settings displays the attributes of the paper for the remainder of the job.
Notes:
• If your printer does not support automatic 2-sided printing, not all of the options are
available.
• Some combinations of 2-sided printing with certain paper types and sizes can produce
unexpected results.
Scaling
Scaling reduces or enlarges the original document to match the selected output paper size. In Windows,
the Scale Options are located in the print driver on the Printing Options tab in the Paper field.
To access Scale Options, click the arrow at the right side of the Paper field, then select Other Size.
• No Scaling does not change the size of the page image printed on the output paper, and 100%
appears in the percentage box. If the original size is larger than the output size, the page image is
cropped. If the original size is smaller than the output size, extra space appears around the page
image.
• Automatically Scale scales the document to fit the selected Output Paper Size. The scaling amount
appears in the percentage box below the sample image.
• Manually Scale scales the document by the amount entered in the percentage box below the
preview image.

Minimizing Paper Jams
The printer is designed to function with minimal paper jams using Xerox® supported paper. Other paper
types can cause jams. If supported paper is jamming frequently in one area, clean that area of the paper
path.
The following can cause paper jams:
• Selecting the incorrect paper type in the print driver.
• Using damaged paper.
• Using unsupported paper.
• Loading paper incorrectly.
• Overfilling the tray.
• Adjusting the paper guides improperly.
Most jams can be prevented by following a simple set of rules:
• Use only supported paper. For details, see Supported Paper on page 38.
• Follow proper paper handling and loading techniques.
• Always use clean, undamaged paper.
• Avoid paper that is curled, torn, moist, creased, or folded.
• To separate the sheets before loading into the tray, fan the paper.
• Observe the paper tray fill line; never overfill the tray.
• Adjust the paper guides in all trays after inserting the paper. A guide that is not properly adjusted
can cause poor print quality, misfeeds, skewed prints, and printer damage.

Print Quality
Print quality modes:
• Standard print-quality mode: 600 x 600 dpi
• Enhanced print-quality mode: 1200 x 1200 dpi
• Photo print-quality mode: 600 x 600 x 8 dpi
Note: The print resolutions are indicated for PostScript print drivers only. The only print quality
mode for PCL is Standard.
Print Speed
Print speeds for continuous printing are up to 30 ppm. Print speeds are the same for color or black and
white printing.
Several factors affect print speed:
• Print mode. The fastest print mode is Standard, followed by Photo, then Enhanced at half speed.
• Paper orientation. For faster print speeds, load paper long-edge feed. Loading paper short-edge
feed reduces print speeds.
• Paper size. Letter (8.5 x 11 in.) and A4 (210 x 297 mm) sizes share the fastest print speed. Larger
sizes reduce print speeds.
• Paper weight. Lightweight prints faster than heavier paper, such as Cardstock and Labels.
• Paper type. Plain prints faster than Glossy.
The maximum print speed for 1-sided printing is 30 ppm on Plain, Letter/A4 paper, oriented long-edge
feed.
The maximum print speed for 2-sided printing is 22 ppm on Plain, Letter/A4 paper, oriented long-edge
feed.
The slowest print speeds are 5 ppm for 2-sided printing on Glossy, and 2-sided printing on paper loaded
short-edge feed, which includes these sizes:
• Legal (216 x 356 mm, 8.5 x 14 in.)
• Tabloid (279 x 432 mm, 11 x 17 in.)
• B4 (250 x 353 mm, 9.9 x 13.9 in.)

European Union Lot 4 Imaging Equipment Agreement Environmental
Information
Environmental Information Providing Environmental Solutions and Reducing Cost
Introduction
The following information has been developed to assist users and has been issued in relation to the
European Union (EU) Energy Related Products Directive, specifically the Lot 4 study on Imaging
Equipment. This requires manufacturers to improve environmental performance of in scope products
and supports the EU action plan on energy efficiency.
In scope products are Household and Office equipment that meet the following criteria.
• Standard monochrome format products with a maximum speed less than 66 A4 images per minute
• Standard color format products with a maximum speed less than 51 A4 images per minute
Environmental Benefits of Duplex Printing
Most Xerox® products have duplex printing, also known as 2-sided printing, capability. This enables you
to print on both sides of the paper automatically, and therefore helps to reduce the use of valuable
resources by reducing your paper consumption. The Lot 4 Imaging Equipment agreement requires that
on models greater than or equal to 40 ppm color or greater than or equal to 45 ppm monochrome the
duplex function has been auto enabled, during the setup and driver installation. Some Xerox® models
below these speed bands may also be enabled with 2-sided printing settings defaulted on at the time of
install. Continuing to use the duplex function will reduce the environmental impact of your work.
However, should you require simplex/1-sided printing, you may change the print settings in the print
driver.
Paper Types
This product can be used to print on both recycled and virgin paper, approved to an environmental
stewardship scheme, which complies with EN12281 or a similar quality standard. Lighter weight paper
(60 g/m²), which contains less raw material and thus save resources per print, may be used in certain
applications. We encourage you to check if this is suitable for your printing needs.

Power Consumption and Activation Time
The amount of electricity a product consumes depends on the way the device is used. This product is
designed and configured to enable you to reduce your electricity costs. After the last print it switches to
Ready Mode. In this mode it can print again immediately if required. If the product is not used for a
period of time, the device switches to a Power Saver Mode. In these modes, only essential functions
remain active in order to enable reduced product power consumption.
Upon exiting from Power Saver Mode, the first print will take slightly longer than in Ready Mode. This
delay is the result of the system "waking up" from Power Saver mode and is typical of most imaging
products on the market.
If you wish to set a longer Activation Time or would like to completely deactivate the Power Save Mode,
please consider that this device may then only switch to a lower energy level after a longer period of
time or not at all.
